about

This song is based on an acoustic demo I recorded in 2017 called, "Extra Light." That video got a good number of views (for one of my songs), so I figured there might be something to it. I had to re-learn it, of course, since I had totally forgotten what weird DADGAD chords I came up with for it. I added a BeatBuddy drum track to this version and came up with a bass part, as well.

The bass thump you hear at the beginning of the song was intentionally left there to help sync the audio and video when I created the YouTube video. The bass track was recorded direct, so it is often difficult to sync up the audio when all you hear is non-amplified string sounds. It is my version of the "clapper" they use in making movies.
